This book is based on one of numerous theses to be found
in Boris Mouravieff's monumental work GNOSIS. The general subject matter is Esoteric Christianity and the specific theme is
that St Paul's famous words on Faith, Hope and Love, when viewed within the whole context of the letter to Corinthians, indicate
a complete program designed to transmute Faith and Hope into a Live Vivifying Knowledge, and the latter into Love, which alone
is the non-perishing vanquisher of Death. Fulfilling the program was the job incumbent on the Church in the face of a growing
intellectuality: Man's growing intellectual and scientific orientation was gradually becoming adverse to formulas of blind
faith. If the teachers of religion could not evolve their teaching to suit this new type of mentality, the Christian religion
would soon find itself a Sunday occupation, quite unsuited for modern life. St Paul predicted this need in the very formula of the program
Faith, Hope and Love.
